Elizabeth I Silver Shilling

This silver shilling coin brings the first Elizabethan age to life! Depicting the portrait of the Elizabeth I, this 16th century treasure would have been in circulation during one of the most turbulent and enlightened periods in British history. It was an era of religious upheaval with wars against Catholic Spain, maritime exploration with adventurers like Sir Walter Raleigh, and cultural revolution with the plays of William Shakespeare. 

Adding to the unique story of this Tudor coin, no two are exactly alike. It was made before the invention of modern minting machinery and would have been hand struck by moneyers, from sterling silver, using a hammer and dies.
Your coin will arrive in a crystal-clear holder to preserve its condition and is housed in a handsome wooden display case.
